Have you answsred it yet? ?" asked
the reporter.
"No, but I shall do so. One of the
greatest tasks of a coroner / find is to
reply to such inquiries. Not only do
we get numerous inquiries from ali
parts of the country whenever an in
quest is held upon an unknown body,
but some people even go so far as to
write and ask us if any unknown per-
son had been found dead in the vi
cinity. Such letters like this one gen
orally come from an agonized mother
or sister but frequently from other
relatives o. friends, but occasionally
even anxious creditors resort to this
mode of seeking information. 1t is
astonishing how easy it is TO become
lost in the great vortex of humanity
and how frequently such thing occurs
You remember presume the case
of the young German who suicided at
the hotel on Main street Liter care
fully destroying every trace and clue
as TO his identity. After its publica-
ton many inquiries ca e concerning
him but out of all Of them not sin
gle one came near to his identity and
a negative answer was all that could
be sent.
Then there is the case of the bur-
glar who shot Officer Fifer and in
turn was killed by him, letters of in
quiry still occasionally come concern
ing him but his identity is still Is
perfect a mystery as ifhe had dropped
down from the moon. But l might

difficulty abort these things, however
is the careless thoughtlessness of those
who write, or it may be designed.
they nearly always follow the course of
the writer Of this letter and ask
for a description of the corpse omit
ting to give a description of the per-
son they desire to find. 1t would
greatly lessen the work of replying to
their inquiries and not infreqnently
help to discover the person they seek
if they would send description of the
party sought after" So SAYING the
doctor resumed his work and the
scribe went his WAY.
As 10 Mrs. Royce's inquiries 1t is
not at I'LL probable that the unknown
man Sas her son unless she is very
old woman, as he was a man beyond
80 years of age. As has been stated
he bad red hair turning gray, was
poorly clad in a blue flannel shirt,
checked vest and pants, brogan shoes
and black slough hat. Should this,
however, meet the eve of Mr.. Royce,
or any one who knows of him, it Is 10

A Yankee View.

1t is most desirable that the ami
mosities and sectional feelings OF the
war of the rebellion should come to an
end ; but there is such a thing as
making ones self ridiculous by full
some adulatiOn Of persons closely
allied to individuals who were promi-

unutterable suffering it entailed.
These thoughts have been suggested
by the attentions lavished lately upon
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of the
arch rebel, Jefferson Davis. AT a
reception given her the other day at
Harlem by Mrs A. g. Dickinson.
Miss Davis was toasted by Col. Dick
inson as "the daughter of the ex pres.
ident of the southern states, whom all
present highly respect" Shades OF
Andersonville and Libby, what do
you think of that! 1t will be news
to many that tn re is a spot in the
union where jeff DAVIS is highly res

kindly is not at all worthy of note

A PeriiOuS Ride.

A son of Fatty" Himburg, aged
about seventeen, arrived yesterday
from the east on Tornado Jim's"
train. He boarded the passenger
train at Jefferson City-on the trucks
and was not discovered until after
the train left California. At Upton
he was hustled off the truck under the
Pullman parlor car and taken inside
and brought to Sedalia, passenger
paying his fare. The boy says that
he has beat his way from New Or
leans and is in good health. His
push and enterprise, # well di-
rected, would develop into something
remarkable. But for this there is
little hope.

OPINIONS AT MONMOUTH.

When the news was passed around at
Monmouth Park, yesterday, that Mr..
Edward Corrigan had apologized to the
Washington Park Club, and that his
suspension had been removed, the
general verdict was that the Kansas
City turfman had had close shave and
that in future he would do well to keep
mis- temper in tune.
The more prominent members of the
Monmouth Park Association deciin, d
to express themselves as TO the action
of the judges of Chicago, On the ground
that they had not been officially
notified of Mr.. Corrigan's suspension.
I'VE have not received any adVices on
the subject from Chicago" said Mr.. D.
D. Withers. The only knowledge that
Mr.. Corrigan is under suspension was
furnished by the Herald, and until we
are officially notified l do not see how
we can properly discuss the matter"
In answer to the question whether al
owner has the right to lay up his horse
in the first heat OF aIepeat race, Mr..
Withers replied that it was the owners
privilege.
Mr.. James Galway was of the same
opinion, and several prominent owners
and trainers informed the Herald
reporter that they had frequently
dropped the first heat of a repeat race
in order to make good betting.
Mr.. Hamilton Busbey said: 81 was
satisfied Mr.. Corrigan would make an
apology, and without it the club could
not have afforded to remove the sus-
pension. 1t is time that judges set an
example. There have been lots Of men
who have made much trouble at tracks
by raising controversies, and even in
some instances threatening the judges.
Men like Corrigan, with large and in
fuential stables, must be stopped or the
small ones who are turbulent will
become a mob. The Washing ton Park
Club deserves credit for having the
courage to suspend Corrigan and if the
apology had not been made the other
tracks should have stayed by them. 1t
is not like going for little and meek
man. Corrigan has big stable. and
they all want his horses to run, and it
courage to discipline him.

ED. cORRIGiN'S APOLOGY.
why His Suspension was Removed
Oy the Chicago Jockey Club.

SARATOGA, N. Y, July 21.-The matter
Oh tne suspension of Mr.. Edward Cor
rlgan at the Washington Park Jockey
oluo' has excited lively interest among
turfmen here, the more so as his crack
colt Carey is strong favorite for the
IraVers Stakes, to be run tomorrow.
MT. Corrlgan still declines to talk upon
the subject; but he and his friends are
greatly pleased at the receipt of the
following dispatch from MIR. J. E.
brewster, secretary of the Washington
fark Association, to day;
In view Of the complete and annie anol
ogy onered by Mr.. Colrigan the executive
colnmlttee have removed the su. pension,
Mr.. CoRRIeAN's APOLOGY.
AS to what this ample apology was 1t
lows:

much as the trasaetion has been diffare aIff
constructed, desire to apologize and Ia
assure you that l entertain. The highe 81

Tariton was one of the judges when / saw
him lecturing my jockey.
From the fact that Mr.. Corrlgan has
considerable temper, which it is not
always difficult to arouse, it has been
somewhat hastily assumed that hensed
very violent language toward the
offended judge, but his friends saw he
was perfectly cool, and certainly in
talking about the case since his arrival
here he has not seemed at all excited or
bitter.
A GENERAL OPINION OF THE CASE.
Individual turfmen are reluctant to
make statements on a question of this
kind to go into print, but it may be said
that the general opinion among them is
this-that while the judges as a BODY
unquestionably have 1ull control of
all horses and jockeys when given to
the starter, that an individual Judge has
not this authority, which belongs to the
board. That the judge who left the
stand to reprimand the Jockey simply
expressed his own opinion and was Id
error. Whatever he had to say should
have been said in the presence of his
colleagues, so they could approve or
dissent. He was not even the presiding
judge. The jockey should have been
called before the stand to make the
complaint against him actually the
action of the board. The rules were
never intended to give judges the power
to instruct jockeys as to the strategy of
generalship they should exert in a race,
and upon the showing of facts Mr.. Cor
rigsn was not justly suspended. 1t
will however, be a celebrated case in
racing Jurisprudence, and the authority
OF the owner over his jockey where no
fraud can be shown may be considered
firmly established.

Where Immigrants Come From.

Superintendent jackson of Castle
Garden, was asked by reporter for the
New York CommerciM Adcertiser con-
corning the prospects of immigration for
the coming season. He said:
81 expect the number will about equal
that of last year-about 500, 600"
"Where do most of them come from2r
"From Germany. England also sends
q good many. In fact, we have them
from all parts of the world. Very few
immigrants come to this port from
France"
"What do they expect to do in this
country9"
'The Germans are mostly farmers, and
go West as soon as they can. There are
a good many artisans among the English.
English-spcIking immigrants are in de-
mand as farm laborers. The Irish make
the best farmers. Italians and Swedes
will do anything, and are mostly put to
work on the railroads, doing all the
heavy work The Irish won't do that kind
of work. They have an advantage in
in being able to speak the language, and
expect something better than digging
dirt. etc."
"What time of year do most of them
arrive2"
There are two seasons of the year
which they seem to prefer, spring and
autumn. May is the heaviest month
aud October is nett"

Why Vinegar is Sharp.

The question has been propounded:
What makes vinegar sharpe Now, if it
had been asked: What does not make
it SHARPE the answer would have been,
the want of pure apple or grape juice.
George Adams, in 1147, said that some
people have imagined that the sharpness
of vinegar was occasioned by the cells
striking their pointed tails against the
tongue and palate. But the Scientific
american says it is very certain that the
sourest vinegar has none of those GELS,
and that its pungency is entirely owing
to the pointed figures of its salts, which
float therein. This is very well, but we
are almost persuaded that some of the
sharpness of the vinegar is due to the
sharp practices with which its manufac-
ture is often surrounded. There is the
sharper who mixes the commodity with
drugs and acids, such as preparations of
lead, copper, and sulphuric acids. There
is the sharper who orders this done.
There is the sharper who sells the con-
coction to the merchant. There is the
mercantile sharper who sells the stuff to
the consumer. There is the grand COM
bination of sharpers who lie throughout
the whole transaction from the time it is
made to the time it is used. Then there
is the old, old sharper, the prince of lies,
with his cloven-hoof and his serpentine
tail, who inspires the lesser sharpers.
And yet some people do not know what
makes vinegar sharp! IT'S influenced

Heirs to n Great Inheritance.

There is family living in the interior
of Pennsylvania who, for generations,
have been set apart from the rest of the
community. There is popular idea that
they are destined to good fortune. Their
neighbors talk of the unfailing luck of
the P--s; it is suspected that they were
all 'Mascottes."
The women are invariably the centre of
the social circle to which they belong;
as children or old women they are sur
rounded with friends; the men are sought
as business partners, as counsel, as physi-
clans, or pastors. Whatever may be his
trade or occupation, the world always has
place ready for one of the P-s.
Yet they do not, as a race, possess ex-'
ceptional intellectual strength, or great
fortune. The one quality which distin-
cuisines them from Others is capacity for
seeing the best of every incident of life
and of making the best of that. This
gives them a fine high courage in little or
great ills, and an impcrturbably sweet,
sunny temper. 1t was one of this family
who, upon losing both legs at the battle
of Charlottesville, exclaimed: "What
luck that it wasn't my arms!''

STRENGTH IN SUFFERING.

Each weary heart that sorrow fills
With some Overwhelming woe,
Heaps with his own unnumbered ills,
The tears that others sow,
While sadness cumbers day by day
And weary hours grow long.
Bright hope shall light the clouded way;
Then suffer and grow strong.
Yes! Strong in suffering, strong in hope,
Strong hearts by conscience led,
'Gainst every bitter sin can cope
That rears its vicious head:
Bright germs of hope surround each heart,
The sunshine and the dew,
Regardless of affections smart,
Then suffer and be true,
In the red battlefield of life,
Its turbulence and din,
In every scene in human strife,
Tenn tdtion, sorrow, sin,
That brings chill pallor to the face,
That mars domestic light,
And smothers every tender grace
Still suffer and be right.
Refined by suffering, overwhelmed
With thine and others cares;
Be true, be brave be armed and helm'd.
'Gainst current wiles and SHARES;
Proud i'll thy strength, heroicpride
Can every i'll endure,
Though in temptation doubly tried;
Then suffer and be pure.
